> Who cares about the resource difference between EMACS and VS Code in real world practicality? I literally use different apps on battery vs wall power: wall: Firefox, Slack, VSCode battery: Safari, mail, Emacs The difference is clear as night & day. Mac OS X has a tab in Activity Monitor where you can observe energy impact of different apps, and it consistently reports Electron apps as... psychotic. An order of magnitude (10x) more intensive than their native counterparts.
